Where the engineering comes from
Hytera's European engineering capability was built through acquisition, which matters particularly on the TETRA side:
- Hytera Mobilfunk (Germany, 2012) — formed from the professional mobile radio business of Rohde & Schwarz. TETRA infrastructure engineering runs here.
- Teltronic (Spain) — a TETRA manufacturer specialising in rail and transport communication.
- Norsat International (Canada, 2017) — satellite communication terminals and microwave components.
- Sinclair (Canada) — antennas and RF subsystems.
By the company's own statement, more than 40% of its workforce is engaged in engineering and R&D.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where is Hytera from?
Hytera Communications Corporation Limited was founded in Shenzhen, China in 1993 and is listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange under code 002583. It also operates research and development centres in Germany, the United Kingdom, Spain and Canada; much of its TETRA infrastructure engineering runs through the German Rohde & Schwarz PMR business acquired in 2012, today Hytera Mobilfunk.
Are Hytera radios good quality?
Hytera is the world's second-largest PMR manufacturer and the leading supplier of DMR Tier III trunking. Its products are built to ETSI DMR (TS 102 361) and ETSI TETRA standards; ingress protection ranges from IP54 to IP68 and durability is evidenced against the MIL-STD-810 series. The real answer, however, depends on the model: an entry-level device and a mission-critical device from the same brand are designed for different workloads.
Do Hytera and Motorola radios work together?
In analogue mode and in standard DMR Tier II mode, yes — both follow the ETSI DMR standard and can communicate with matching frequency and colour code settings. Manufacturer-specific features (advanced trunking, encryption, data services) do not work across brands. In mixed-fleet deployments this distinction must be planned from the outset.
Who represents Hytera in Türkiye?
TechnoRF is the Hytera distributor and authorised technical service centre for Türkiye. Supply, programming to the Turkish band plan, installation, warranty handling and service with original spare parts are carried out through TechnoRF.
